In An alleged report of the proceedings of the
Republican legislative caucus on Monday night,
the Sentinel says:
There was long discussion and wrangle
over the temperance question A great reluct
ance to take up the matter for legislation was
manifest, prominent member of the recently
elected State ticket remarkng that he believed
In taking up the temperance question just as
he had taken it up in his canvass-on the whisky
side"
There is not the shadow Of shade of truth In
this statement. No such remark was made, and
no member of the recently elected State
ticket" uttered syllable on the question.

SECRETARY LAMAR has placed himself in a
very embarrassing position. He allowed the
newspaper boys at Washington to understand
that he was going down to Mobile TO marry
wealthy widow and former sweetheart, though
he was careful enough not to name the exact
date of the event. He went to Mobile, and is
still hanging about there, but doesn't get mar
ried; and reports from that city indicate that
there is no prospect that such an affair will
occur soon. Mr. Lamar evidently reckoned with
out his widow. which is bad thing for even a
Cabinet officer TO do.

AT Richmond, Va, the baggage of some lady
members of the National Ideal Opera Company
was searched to see if any property belonging to
the company was secreted therein. Those Rich
mond people always were in favor of States
rights, and might have been expected to rate the
National Ideal very low.

THE cremating of people in railway acct
dents, caused by the criminal carelessness of
the train employees, is becoming altogether
too common. The only way to stop it is to
severely punish the responsible parties. If it
were possible, hanging would have a re-
markable tendency to make these awful oc-
currences less frequent.

THE correspondent of the louisville Courier

THE correspondent of the Louisville Courier
Journal, in yesterdays issue. says:
Senator Voorhees, will remain here for a week
or two, and his advice and assistance will be
valuable to the Democrats. It is not likely that
any definite plan of action will be agreed on I'M
til after the decision of the Supreme Court in
the Smith Robertson case. 1t is almost certain
that decision will be rendered tomorrow. The
Republicans profess to believe that the decision
of Judge Ayres will be affirmed. Tho Democrats
are very confident that the Supreme Court will
decide the main question. and declare that Rob-
ertson has no right to the Office of Lieutenant
governor. That decision is In large sense, the
key to the situation. If it a6irms Judge Ayres's
finding, the Republicans will be elated and the
Democrats correspondincly depressed"
Well, the decision is made. and how do the
Democratic conspirators like it, If it is 'the
key to the situation" in a large sense, the situa

COLONEL CLAPP, manager of the Boston

Journal, says:
'Forty years experience in the newspaper
business tells me that whenever a newspaper
has reduced its price it was not due to outside
influence at all, but the financial injury was
always self-infcted. Deduction of price is a
mistake. Elevate the tone Of your paper so
as to make it worth the money, and you will
have no lack of patrons. Excepting white
paper and telegraph tolls everything that
goes to make paper is higher than ever be-
fore. We have ten reporters where we used
to have one. The cry Of to-day is for better
and purer papers. The reduction of prices
here and there will have no effect The con-
scientious paper that puts out money and
costs money is the paper that will succeed"
Colonel Clapp is correct in his facts and his
conclusions. A newspaper costs more to pro-
duce to-day than it ever did. More money
and work are expended upon the Journal for
instance. than ever before in its history, and
it is better worth five cents per copy now than
ever. A person who does not think paper
like the Journal worth the price of cheap
cigar or of glass of beer is below the level
for which good newspaper is printed, and
should patronize cheap paper. There is no
paper in the country which, under the SEEM
ing pressure of a craze, lowered its price that
has not been compelled to cheaper itself in
every way-to lower its character and curtail
its proper salutary influence

THE Police Commissioners should under
stand they are not legislature to make laws,
nor court to construe them. They should
take the law as they find it, and see that it is
executed as it is.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1887-01-05

IT is a significant sign of the times when
newly-appointed police commissioners begin
to talk about their policy" The only policy
they have any right to think about is the
simple enforcement of the law. Anything
more or less than this shows willingness to
trife with public interests and abuse public
trust for partisan purposes.

Beauty's Bangs.

In the days OF real live Madonnas they
did not wear bangs, we must acknowledge;
the soft golden locks were parted window
curtain style over the smooth white brow;
but the days when n woman was a saint to
every locker on have past.
There is not q woman IN existence, prob
ably, who is not saint in some ones esti-
nation, but she does not divulge the fact
promiscuously; she allows her virtues to be
discovered; she hides the light of her
countenance not under bushel, but under
a bang,
The meek Madonna waves went out with
the days when women openly acknowledged
men were lords of creation. 1t is just as
much a real fact TO women now as then,
but the belief is one of the bang hidden
virtues.
However, as the warm, perspiring sum-
mer DAVIS come on, women have not time
to complacently contemplate the beauty
and variety of their naturally amiable quail
ties of character, but in great veXation of
spirit they look about for some transcen-
dental way of keeping a becoming and an
unmussable bang.
If she is a cy-faced, laughing Tipped
little maiden, who wishes to be at the top
most pinnacle of style, she will have a hard
road to travel, for perfect, fluffy "Dimp-
sey" bang is what she must have. 1t is a

culling-irons, or a night of restless tossing
while trying to sleep with it all done up in
papers. But she will bear all that with
Spartan fortitude, and the nice young men
who sigh for one of those curling rings as
they rest on her placid brow, in the moon
light on the hotel piazza, will never know,
any more than poor David Copperiield
did. that his Dora's curls were paper made

Happy is the woman whose features are
regular enough to allow her to wear n

adopt it with grace. 1t makes a trying
frame to plain face, and gives a hard,

eye.
The Russian bang is the prettiest of any
of these straight ones, and will grow in ia

tense. 1t must be cut with care and ar
ranged with particular attention. for its
outline must resemble an inverted Cupid

self with the latest, "the parted bang.

Fads in Fashions.

A striking though at the same time
quiet street costume, seen recently, was in
a combination of surah, cashmere, silk, and
velvet The underskirt, which was en-
trely plain, with the exception of narrow
foot pleating, was of l-blue surah.
The upper part of the dress was n kind of
redingote- polonaise, of blue cashmere,
rather ciel tint, made full in front and
lined with silk, which showed with every
movement of the wearer. The sleeves
were slashed to show tho lining, forming a
Marie Stuart puff on the shoulder. and the
full front of the polonaise was bordered by
two broad dark-blue velvet revers, the
space between the revers being of striped
silk, ciei-blue and steel-blue being the
colors.
notice that the Moliere front is coming
in again. / have seen it on several of the
new costumes. Judging from its tasteful
ness and beauty, this should be one of the
most favored basque trimmings, and it is
strange that after its great popularity three
years ago it should have fallen SO far into
dsuse as il recently has.
Parasols sometimes agree with the suits
they accompany, and come sometimes a
shade lighter Where the suit is mono
chrome or nearly so, the parasol is usually
the latter; if it consist, however, of a COM
bination of materials In differing shades,
then the parasol may be plaided, checked
or striped, so as to show both colors.
Real wood handles are favored. but are
not absolutely dictated by fashion. Some
of them consist of absurdly large knobs
which look, in a ladv's hand, entirely out
of place and unsuitable.
Perhaps the nentest taste is the choice of
the pretty oxidized silver handles which
are shown in great variety. They are
chaste and artistic, being, as we'll, much
more inexpensive than some of the less
attractive styles.
Street wraps of the season display no
great variety, and the little mantelets-
much more ornamental than useful-which
cover the shoulders and chest, are still in
favor. The newer ones are so covered with
beads that one can scarcely perceive what
the ostensible material of the wrap may be.
This. however, is usually velvet.
Some OF the more dressy street costumes
have httle--very little-shoulder capes of
their own. These are plated, OF the same
material as the balance of the dress, and
also covered with beads.
They somewhat remind one of the styles
prevailing forty years or so ago.
Silk stockings, one would think, had
heretofore exhibited all the absurdities of
pattern and design that could be bestowed
upon them. But the popular style now is
something different from any worn before.

STRESS RESOLUTIONS.
BY LARRY LINNET.

All is uncertainty in this world, save
death. Old Father Time holds a lien on
our lives that must be paid. Uncertainty
surrounds everything else, and especially
the payment of old debts. When sickness
lays n heavy hand upon us, we are in a bet
tor frame of mind TO give them considera-
ton.
What good resolutions are formed about
this time! We solemnly conclude to pay
all our just debts. BY just debts we mean
those. perhaps, now worrying us most in
the shape of daily duns handed in by the
postman. Other small bills contracted Mt
forgotten periods of time come in last for
share of our consideration. Yes, if We
ever get well, Wen pay our debts, with in
terest at ten per cent. or more, If they
ask it.
We conclude to forgive our enemies, and
pass over the many little Inconvenience
occasioned by the reduction of our near
neighbours coal heap. If the said neigh
Dor accused us of appropriating property
on his side of the fence, we forgive him
now, and try to coax consolation from the
slim possibility of the fence being placed
too far over on our lot; likewise the hem
roost.
Should Father Time conclude that the
thread of life is hardly worth cutting just
at present, and we rise once more to min
gle with others in the great battle of life,
we do not forget our good resolutions, but
merely lay them on the table for after con-
sideration, to be regulated by existing cir
cumstances.
Again we are threatened with dissolution,
and this time we firmly resolve to keep
ourword and fulfill the promises repeated
ly made our anxious creditors, if We are
only spared. Perhaps We are spared. Our
creditors call-numerous creditors, numer-
Gus calls.
We are in n state of feverish anxiety.
The climate, we find, has much TO do
with our late illness, and at night is al
ways the best time for moving. IL is so
quiet then that one can hear himself think.
and not be bothered by penurious land
lord who might seriously retard progress
toward the desired goal-exit. We leave
the key in the door to testifyto our honesty,
even in trivial matters.
Thus we move, from city to hamlet, from
hamlet to city, as financial embarrassments
require. Even Canada, cold as il is, may
get too hot for us.
But only bank Presidents and cashiers,
and other trustworthy guardians of the
public's wealth. seem TO like its climate
best. We small fry prefer TO swing, pen
dulum-like, from one cad of the United
States to the other.
At last we are caught mapping by Father
Time and hurried OIL the stage of life with
out a chance TO wash up and clear our
record OF musty resolutions and stale
debts. Yes, all is uncertainty in this world,
even to the payment of old deb.s.
